Last peak until MSG
This well known, highly traded show is the peak of the final high quality tour. And, the start of the last venue run of this quality. It's also peak

Brent. He's the motor on much of the run and takes many of the solos. Half of the show was released clear back in 1996 and the rest later. These are multi-track mixdowns, but the SBD is better for most of the show (except Desolation, Walkin', Stella & NFA). First Set. After seven shows that saw the band reach a new level of consistency, Let the Good Times Roll is a solid warning to Heads about what's coming. [The SBD has the guitars and audience louder as well as more drums & Phil. The OFF is more compressed, less dynamic, with some reverb and little Bobby guitar for the first half of the set]. Help on the Way had returned in '89 but was then quiet in '90 until this night, where it's in fine form. For Walkin' Blues mixes are about the same, but the OFF multitrack has more clarity. This is a huge Loser. Not to be missed. [It's also exciting on the MTX or an AUD, but the guitars are best on the SBD]. Desolation Row is a peak example. Released in '02, the OFF is about the same as the SBD. However on Tennessee Jed the AUDs are better, oddly. It's the bottom of the set yet still good. Saturday Night was not a usual first set closer. Bobby namechecks H.W. It was released right after the tour! The SBD is a slightly better mix of instruments and has more Phil [anyway, the OFF has the vox replaced and cuts 'we will be back in a little bit']. Second Set. The big, arena-sized Playing in the Band is gustatory the whole way. [The SBD has more Phil, the OFF has more drums]. Uncle John's has a couple great stretches, but this Terrapin is a beauty contest winner. One of the longest ever, Phil is great, Brent is great – well, they all leave it all onstage. The jam section includes a Mind Left Body. It had been 5 years since this sequence's last appearance (also as part of Terrapin), but this is the biggest/best since '83, if not '78. It's in the key of D, like the earliest occurrences. The next night has a jam that is basically a MLB, but in E. The OFF calls the jam section "Mud Love Buddy". Drums>Space are serious business; don't skip. [The SBD has more elements in Space than the OFF; Drums is mixed for different elements on the OFF, whereas the SBD is what the audience heard]. The Wheel is super solid, and Watchtower is the destroyer. Even if a couple verse flubs keep it from being a '90s best, Stella stands stalwart. Bobby's rhythm playing and the drummers are the extra elements in this outstanding Not Fade. How else to end this bacchanalia but with a classic:Bid You Goodnight. Exhausted Heads float out to the lots. Whew. 1st Set: B+ 2nd Set: A Overall = 5 stars Highlights: Let the Good Times Roll – easy assurance with a wink Loser – perhaps year's best Desolation Row – long considered a great version 2nd set – whole thing; hard to even pick a peak SOURCES: The miller_107873 SBD has the best mix of instruments. The 156426_UltraMatrix is the mic-mixed SBD, and sounds better on a couple, but is a little crisp in places from EQd highs. The 127119_mtx_dusborne tape-matrix is comparable (and exciting). There a few great AUDs. The whole show has been OFFicially released. Spring 1990 has Let The Good Times Roll, Help>Slip>Franks, Loser, and Tennessee. Postcards has Desolation Row. Without a Net partially has One More Saturday, and the rest are on Dozin'. Loser is also on So Glad You Made It. The show is usually up on YouTube, albeit dark and/or fuzzy.

Night 1 at the Knick
Much already said about this gem of a show (for any era). Bobby sounds great in the mix, Phil's dropping bombs, and really the whole band just playing
...
with intent and passion- from start to finish. Re: Loser (reviews are right): All I can say is its omission from Dozin' (1996) is made up by the inclusion of it in So Glad You Made It (2012). It's a beauty. But the real magic is found in set two. Tellingly, the entire set was included in Dozin' (the only one of the six sets, included entire). Must listen!

Phil...!!
I don't review many shows out here...I do enjoy reading the reviews, especially the ones with great stories about attending the show and the vibe, etc.
...
I skip most negative reviews because really...I just want to listen and be happy. Phil is just killing it this entire show. I'm sure I listened to Dozin' back in the day but not really with the attention it deserves. I've been streaming shows at work all year focusing on the current date. It's been enlightening to say the least and has taken me out of my comfort zone as far as what era I like to listen to. Phil is in his own world and to me everyone else is just playing along. Franklin's and Playin' really stand out but really the whole show. Love to hear him this high in the mix. Thanks to all involved in taping/transferring and to those that maintain this site. What a wonderful piece of history for us to enjoy for years to come. I only attended a couple shows myself...towards the end, but having the chance to listen to them all from 60's right thru to 95 is a privilege I do not take for granted. Peace all.

Let the good times roll
I was following the greatest rock and roll band of all time around the country! Both the first and second set are high octane. Phil high in the mix 2nd
...
set kinda like the old days. If you were just eyeballing the 1st set nothing jumps out but it was very well played. I do remember being totally pumped to hear Saturday Night as the 1st set closer. Amazing what just a little creativity in the set list could ignite. At times there is a intense almost frantic pace to this show. Transition from Playin to UJB is beautiful. Mind Left Body is good -as I am listening I keep thinking they are going to hook it into Hell in a Bucket or something like that. THANKFULLY THEY HEAD FOR DRUMZ!

Interesting listen, Phil is a lot louder in the second set in this mix than on Dozin'.

WAY Better than Dozin'
Why don't they ask us for OUR opinion before they release this stuff? THEY LEFT OUT LOSER for Pete's sake...and the mix on this recording of Desolation
...
Row is far better than the one that appears on _Postcards of The Hanging_. This recording blows Dozin' at the Knick out of the water, leaving only the flotsam of now- useless jewel cases...
Hey...Bobby's sayin' "Come on, Georgie!" as in the president not the state. Not sure why but i always found "Come on, Ronnie!" even funnier. Maybe it's
...
really both: R: "Well Georgie, should we see the Dead tonight?" G: "Wouldn't be prudent, not gonna do it." (spring '90=the shit)
Ok, I was just listening to OMSN and I could have sworn Bobby said, "come on Georgia!". Is this an Atlanta Omni showed or was Bobby a thousand or so miles
...
off the mark when he said that? what gives? great Franklins, by the way.

Intent....Passion...and CM Mastery
How can you give this less then 5 stars? One of the last great shows from beginning to end during the the last great run with Brent. This band could play
...
. When they took the stage this tour it was with intent . They were together at this point for almost 11 years . Far longer then any other GD roster . At a good show there would be a sense of one-upmanship between Garcia and Weir . A great show would have the Billy and Micky locked in and Phil dialed in . A show with the hard earned Gold Star has everyone listening to each other , and a wowza set list . We have a Gold Star show here folks . This and 9 -19 -90 were the best shows I had the privilege of seeing . Sonically , A Charlie Miller Masterpiece This is one of the few GD shows I listen to most of the whole show . The first seven songs in set one are home runs , back to back to back.... Even Walking Blues . All are A list quality . ( TJed and OMSN aren't for me .) Set two left me in an wonderful state of contentment , spent and blissful . Highlights are the MLBJ ( psychedelic pop in all its glory ), my fav Wheel ( I love the intro ) and NFA ( unhooked from Throwing Up and jammed out properly ). Best show for dancing I have ever been to . The halls were filled with all types of heads , freeking freely . It was wild . A must have show .

problem is they left off from that CD THE single best song from the show: LOSER, which is why you should listen to this if for no other reason. This and 7/22/84 Ventura are simply the 2 BEST versions of the song the Dead EVER did. Period. Give a listen and you'll see. Thanks, Charlie!
